Making history

October 22, 2008

Somerset clinched its first-ever Laurel Highlands Athletic Conference volleyball championship Tuesday by closing out the regular season with a senior night sweep over Bishop McCort.

The Lady Eagles are mounting a school record-setting season after posting their 17th victory Tuesday to extend their overall record to 17-1. They finish conference competition with a solid 15-1 record.

The feat made local history for the team as they will go into the school record books for being the first Somerset team to clinch the championship.

The season is not over for the Lady Eagles. Next week they compete in the District 6 playoffs and will hopefully advance to the state tournament.
